1931年,義大利的保祿會士在短短幾年內不斷擴展,雅培理神父已籌畫往海外發展。他陸續派遣兒女到美洲及世界各大洲。
戴格蘭修女為她的女兒提供所需的一切,幫助她們強化使命的精神,同時以她慣有的熱情鼓勵她們。「在妳們離開這個暫時的家鄉以前」,她寫給一群即將離開祖國的傳教士:「我衷心地問候及誠摰地祝福妳們,願妳們所去的國家成為妳們成聖的地方。妳們要成為有聖德的人。如果妳們沒有看到工作的善果,千萬不要氣餒。我們默默地做事,反而對人靈更有益處……。」
早期海外傳教的修女和義大利的姊妹一樣,過著貧窮、不穩定的生活,且肩負艱辛的工作。她們渴望以最有效率的方式將事情做到最好,但受限於不熟悉當地的語言和文化。戴格蘭修女心繫各地修女,每週寫信關心、支持她們面對內在或外在的困難。她忠信地遵循雅培理神父的指示,鼓勵她們保持工作的自主性,並盡力回應當地民眾的需要。
當時這些保祿孝女會小團體,為今日遍及全球的修會奠定了根基。她們的存在和活力奔放,無論是對於過去或現在,以最先進和有效的傳播工具宣傳福音與提升人靈的工作,具有深遠的意義。
此外,雅培理神父正在腦海中構思一個新的冒險事業:發行一本適合家庭閱讀的雜誌。起初,他委託聖保祿會修女負責。在1931年的聖誕節,首次發行《基督徒家庭》(Famiglia Cristiana)雜誌。發行這本雜誌的目的,是提供讀者以基督徒的觀點來詮釋、評價歷史。同時,也幫助讀者面對家庭中的各種問題與情況。在修女的努力下,雜誌的發行量與日俱增。直到1938年,雅培理神父把管理權轉移給聖保祿會神父。多年來,《基督徒家庭》雜誌在義大利廣受歡迎,實現了雅培理神父的話:「以基督徒精神談論一切事。」今天,在世界各國發行的家庭雜誌,都以義大利的《基督徒家庭》雜誌為範本。
1935年,戴格蘭修女連任聖保祿孝女會總會長。她從1936年春天開始,巡迴世界各地探訪她的女兒。無論到哪個國家,她總是與母院的修女保持聯繫,與她們分享在遠方國度修女的冒險事蹟。她在信中描述最觸動她的事是:「跟我交談過的人都說:出版品是必要的。我們的出版、我們的使徒工作是不可或缺的。」
戴格蘭修女以特有的堅定和熱情,希望每一位聖保祿修女徹底活出個人的聖召,將目光聚焦於真正重要的事:天堂。她殷切地教導她們:「人生稍縱即逝,所以我們要警醒。」她的智慧來自於洞悉住在天主內是多麼重要,並且要信賴祂,無論任何情況都將自己託付給祂。
戴格蘭修女高呼:「眼光要向上注視。天堂!那是我們真正的家鄉,天上導師已在那裡為我們預備地方,為到達那裡我們必須不惜付出一切。」
戴格蘭修女所關心的事務,足以顯示她靈修生活的深度,和她每天努力活出獻身生活的意義──生活於世界,但不屬於世界。對她來說,以具體的方式活出保祿會的使徒聖召,透過每天為聖言效勞的行動,雙目注視那超越時代的事物,並為所有人的焦慮與渴望祈禱,無論他們的種族、文化或宗教背景。她將雅培理神父熱切的問題銘刻於心:「人類往哪裡去?――地球上不斷更新面貌的人類走向哪裡?」

Thanks for revealing your ideas. I might also like to convey that video games have been actually evolving. Better technology and enhancements have helped create sensible and interactive games. These kinds of entertainment games were not as sensible when the real concept was first being attempted. Just like other forms of electronics, video games too have had to advance through many many years. This itself is testimony on the fast progression of video games.
